Weapons of Choice
1. Optimism.
2. Wit.
3. Photoshop.
G'ahead, mouseover... and see "Meticulously-Groomed First-Date Jul" transform into "Kindly Fuck Off And Let Me Take a Nap Jul."
[And this was an amateurish 15-minute job... NOW do you know why the ladies gracing the cover of Vapid Twat Digest don't look a thing like you or I? Hint: it's not because some people are magically born without any pores.]
UPDATE : check out the best example I've ever seen of retouching wizardry. I wanna live in a magazine, yo. Trenchant social commentary, all the free perfume samples you can shake a 0.0001 oz. atomizer at... PLUS a team of geeks ready to Dodge, Burn, Multiply and Pattern Fill you to maximal hotness.

Holy god, the blonde is terrifying.
You are still pretty in both.
ALL of my babies are pretty! That and about $3.50, however, will get them a cup of burnt-tasting coffee from S*arbuck's.
The artist's pix and your own experiment were really disturbing on many levels, but I can't quite put my finger on what made me so uneasy. Maybe it's because so many women in our culture consider their appearance to be "defective."
I just wanted to urge you to wear your dark circles with pride, Jul. You're working hard and making a new life for both yourself and for J.Q. with an open mind and a willing heart. Your spirit needs no retouching...you just need to catch a little extra sleep whenever you can!
